Denver Small Business Collectives Find Opportunity in Local Markets

The shed is covered in wood dust and barely big enough for two people to move around in, but with help from the community, it is now home to one of Denver’s newest small businesses.
Small businesses in and around Denver are finding more support and more opportunities for selling in their local communities. Denver Handmade Homemade, the Denver Flea and other small, “farmer’s market” type selling opportunities are allowing hobbyists to turn their dreams into realities. For many, the dreams are fluid and continue to develop naturally as the dreamers discover better and more lucrative ways to connect locally.
